The Taliban has proposed a three-month ceasefire in Afghanistan in return for the release of 7,000 captured fighters, a government official said.
Nader Nadery, an Afghan government negotiator, described the proposal as a “big demand”.
The government has so far not said how it will react.
Clashes between the government and the Taliban have intensified since US troops began to withdraw from the country.
The Taliban recently claimed their fighters had retaken 85% of territory in Afghanistan – a figure impossible to independently verify and disputed by the government.
